Elaborate!

Also how did you mount that trigger wheel?

[Dr_Snooz]

[Oldblueaccord]

You need taller jackstands those are sinking from the car sitting so long!

[Dr_Snooz]

Hi Walt!

[Oldblueaccord]

Hi Walt!

I did take the Scout off mine finally.

Is it uh safe to mount a large spinning hunk of metal to a large spinning hunk of metal with a 3d printed part?

Ok, yeah I guess it is on jack stands doing the opposite of running

Congrats! Did you drive somewhere cool?

No heck it wouldnt start again. The wiring has finally gone south I think, Its getting the toggle switch, starter button treatment.

[Dr_Snooz]

No.




Yes!




Gotta keep the old distributor because the ECU needs the crank sensor inside it.

Son, you need to get that handled.

Like so:




Or so:

[Dr_Snooz]

About halfway there...

[ShiRen]

What's up with the power steering pump?

[Dr_Snooz]

It's gotta move. The trigger wheel uses the PS pulley. The sucky thing is that I have to add an idler pulley if I don't want the belt to slip. The complexity of the project just doubled.

[ShiRen]

Hmm. I see that. Why not an electric pump then?

[Dr_Snooz]

'Cause I could K20 swap for cheaper LOL.

[Dr_Snooz]

Anyone know why the accessory brackets are so massively overbuilt on this engine? The PS and AC brackets are serious chunks of cast steel. It's like they were built for a 700HP engine.

They are pretty serious casting....

[Dr_Snooz]

Looks centered to me. If I'm wrong, the broken belts will tell me.

So AI is pretty cool. I learned that I need 60% of belt contact to turn my pulleys reliably. I'm closer to half that without an idler pulley. I also learned that I need one of these get good alignment:

Always more to do...

Grooved belts will walk if there not aligned well. It will tell you pretty quick.

[Dr_Snooz]

If you know of a way to verify pulley alignment that doesn't involve a $200 tool, I'm all ears LOL.

Straight edge or a level?

Oddly my co worker at work old Ford pickup shreaded the belt twice. We had to shim the power steering pump a little or the belt would run off a rib.

After 22 years who knows why.

[ShiRen]

Attach a laser level to your straight edge
